Using GPX files
There are several things you can do with your GPX file:
 Use TomTom MyDrive to view your track file.
 Export to a memory card or directly to your computer, then use your computer to view the file
using software such as the Google Earth mapping service.
Note: While viewing your recording, you may notice that the recorded GPS locations do not
always correspond with the roads. This can happen for several reasons. First, your device tries
to keep the files small and this can cause a slight loss of data precision. Second, your device
records the actual data from the GPS chip for an accurate representation of where you’ve
been, rather than what you see on your screen. Thirdly, the software with which you view the
recording may have the maps misaligned.
 Share the file with others by exporting it.
Note: Tracks can be imported and exported.
ITN files (TomTom's own Itinerary file format)
An ITN file contains less detail than a GPX file. An ITN file can contain a maximum of 255 locations
which is enough to recreate a route accurately. ITN files become routes after import.
Using ITN files
There are several things you can do with your ITN file:
 You can import an ITN file onto your TomTom Rider so you can travel that same route again and
get navigation instructions.
 Use TomTom MyDrive to view your route.
Adding to My Routes using MyDrive
Routes can be created and saved on your TomTom Rider or in MyDrive. You can also edit routes
using MyDrive.
To use MyDrive to send a route to My Routes on your TomTom Rider, do the following:
1. Log in to MyDrive at mydrive.tomtom.com.
2. Right click on the starting point on the map and select Use as starting point.
